My new Handcrafted Sterling Silver and Kyanite ring

Recently I have acquired a few beautiful Kyanite cabochons, with non standard sizes. I left everything I was doing and handcrafted a new sterling silver ring design with the stone. The ring design is handmade with a round smooth band and a bezel soldered on it , nicely finished in which I set the stone.

About Kyanite:

The name KYANITE comes from the word in Greek kuanos or "kyanos". which means deep blue.

In Nature it looks like a bladed crystal but sometimes it can be found as masses of crystals. Many times it is associated with other metamorphic minerals , for example: the garnet.

The mineral was called in the past DISTHENE meaning "two strengths".

Kyanite's known healing properties:

It is believed that it helps open and clear one's communication centers. The Kyanite mineral does not need to be cleaned. Known to carry a light energy which attracts spiritual beings such as spirit guides, angels etc.,,.

This is how the Kyanite stone looks when found in Nature , before it is cut for setting:

About Me

I have always loved handmade items, where people have invested their imagination and creativity and I can feel their human touch.
When I retired from my job as a secretary I decided I would join this handmade community.
I chose to be a metalsmith. Therefore, I went to an Art school and studied Jewelry Design.I have been a silver and gold smith ever since.
I immensely enjoy following an idea I have and transforming it into a piece of handmade jewelry.
I hope I will be able to continue doing so until my very last day!
